I think of [the Internet] as a grisly raw steak laid out on a porcelain benchtop in the sun, covered in chocolate hazelnut sauce. In the background plays Stardustís Music Sounds Better With You. Thereís lots of fog. --tomeoftom

I'd like to watch. But I get both a feeling I am being destroyed from inside via an opening in my eyes, and I feel for those who had to site there in reality and experience this. Kind of a mix of pain and empathy for others. I might go out and help someone to feel better.

Was hilarious though!

PS, Ballmer would make the scariest crazy dangerous person ever in a movie... oh and in fiction.

Why yes you're right I'm deliciously evil

The families of Jimmy Saville or the guy who carried-out the Sandy Hook shootings might disagree with that...

If their sole intention was to get people talking about their company, well that's succeeded - but I'd question what we're talking about and whether it's actually useful to them (because this will have cost a LOT of money!)

Don't forget getting caught doing something illegal that also screws over the company.

Perhaps Qualcomm was only trying to make a memorable and fun CES opening?
It was fucking hilarious. Maybe its critics lost their inner child.
I mean how is it not funny to see Ballmer, Big Bird, Desmond Tutu and Maroon 5 with Dido playing over the stream? It's top-tier surreal humour. Who cares if it wasn't intentional?
